Contributors: Gella

Materials and Tools

Let's gather up the materials we'll need to put together this project:

If you don't like the look of this particular silk flower, you can also craft your own by gluing a 5mm common cathode LED into a silk flower of your choice. Check out our wishlist for the DIY flower version.

We'll be soldering for part of this project, so you'll need a soldering station/setup. Here's our suggestion if you don't have one:

Additional Materials:

• Heat shrink (or some kind of insulator such as electrical tape) in red, green, blue, and black or a color than can be easily labeled/marked on
• Felt or sturdy fabric ~2"x4" to sew electronics to
• Decorative elastic or ribbon, cut to wrist size
• Hot glue gun (and glue)
• Needle nose pliers
• Scissors
• Additional decorative accents - smaller fake flowers, ribbon, etc to hide battery holder and add finishing touches to corsage
